2 GOP senators [Willard] say rape allegation against Trump should be investigated [tr] [ed]
CNN ^ | June 25, 2019 | Ted Barrett and Kristin Wilson

Posted on 06/26/2019 6:27:54 AM PDT by C19fan

Two Republican senators said Tuesday the rape allegation made against President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll should be explored to determine the veracity of the allegation against the President -- even as many Senate Republicans sidestepped questions over the matter and defended Trump.

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said both Trump and Carroll should be questioned about the alleged assault. "I think anybody that makes an accusation like that, they should come forward," Ernst said when asked if Carroll should be believed. "But obviously there has to be some additional information. They need to interview her. They need to visit with him."

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said there needs to be an "evaluation" but that he didn't know what entity should conduct it, "whether it's Congress or whether it's another setting, I'm not sure."

Those two can kiss my rear end! I am SOOOO sick of people making unverifiable accusations - and very unbelievable ones at that - and then being taken seriously by political opponents of the accused!

I used to think Joni Ernst was a decent person. I won’t make that mistake again! Utter scum!

So, the FBI operated outside of their mandate when they investigated Blasey-Ford’s accusations against Kavanaugh?

2020 is Mitt’s last chance to run for President. But he needs Trump knocked out first. That is the entire reason he ran for the Senate and that is why he is jumping on this.

What is there to investigate? Even if he did it what evidence would there be 30 years later? She’s clearly a nut, which doesn’t mean she’s lying, but does mean she is not credible.

Haha, he’s Jeff Flaking it hardcore. He’s getting it from us for saying that boilerplate PC pre-2016 garbage. Meanwhile the libs are roasting him, calling his response toothless and “passive voice”.

If not for Mormon ardor his approval rating would probably be 2%.

Trump should ban “Just for Men: Touch of Gray”, Mitt would throw himself off a bridge.

Lmao, even the left is trying to distance themselves from this dingbat now that she showed she was insane on live television, but Mittens is so blinded by his hatred of Trump that he is diving right into the quicksand.

Oh, she doesn’t want to file charges. She tried to say it was because the statute of limitations was up, but then the MSM pointed out to her that they changed the law and DeBlasio said he will file the charges and she started sputtering and her brain short-circuited.

“Keep in mind that many Freepers over the years have insisted that if you wouldn’t vote for Willard because of his agenda, then you want Obama to be president.”

Which is exactly the same reasoning as saying that if you don’t support Trump, you want Hillary to be president. You have some issue with that too?

I voted for Romney but have to say the first two years of Trump admin shows us that substantively there wasn’t much difference between a Romney led GOP and Obama. There is bipartisan support inside the beltway for open borders, socialized medicine, etc.

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said there needs to be an "evaluation" but that he didn't know what entity should conduct it, "whether it's Congress or whether it's another setting, I'm not sure."

If Romney is so interested, he should head up the investigation.

Romney is a worse leftist than Obama. He always has been, he just keeps it hidden. Shame on Utah for electing this phony.

I’m wondering if Joni ERnst actually was supporting Trump, while with Romney, he’s most likely taking the opposite view.

I don't know enough about her to say, but she may just have been ambushed, asked a question about something she hadn't given much thought to.

And the timeline matters. E. Jean's story looks a lot flimsier now than it may have two or three days ago, when nobody had been able to examine it very closely.

As someone who was raped, Ernst is probably less likely to simply dismiss such stories, so saying they should each tell their story probably came naturally to her.

Clearly, she wasn't in "defend Trump all the time whatever" mode when she made this statement, but I wouldn't assume that she was trying to destroy Trump and wouldn't try to destroy her for it.
